Will Chelsea FC qualify for Europe if...?

Question

- They finish 6th, behind Newcastle Utd and Tottenham Hotspurs.
- Lose the FA Cup final, to Liverpool.
- Lose the UEFA Champions League final, to Bayern Munich.

I read a year back, regarding the Birmingham City situation, that for Chelsea to qualify as FA Cup runners-up, Liverpool would have had to have finished between 1-5 in the EPL. UCL runners-up don't get anything. And because the cups were won by a team outside of the top 5, there would be no need for a 6th to become available, or for the cup runners-up place to become available, for Europe.

Or am I wrong? If Chelsea don't win a cup, or finish above 6th, would they qualify for a place in Europe or not? Isn't that what happened to Liverpool, as a result of their 2010/11 campaign, sort of?

If Chelsea win or lose the Cup Final they will be in the Europa League because Liverpool have alraedy qualified for it ,or finish 5th/6th in the PL...... If they win the CL they will  automatically qualify as holders of the competition to defend it,or finish 4th in the PL ( even if they lose the CL Final).

if chelsea finish 6th yet win the fa cup final they will be in europa league
if chelsea finish 5th they are in europa league
if chelsea finish 4th they are in champions league
if they finish 6th but loose the final of fa cup they will still be in europa league because liverpool have won the carling cup so if they win again an extra space will be allocated to 6th place.
so chelsea are in europe regardless next season.
